20 Signs You're A Beta Male
20 Surefire Signs That You're Definitely Not An Alpha Male
He's confident. He's cool. Everything stops when he walks into a room. He's an alpha male. He leads the pack, he protects the pack, he takes of the pack and never backs away from a challenge.
And if you're none of these things, you can stop calling yourself an alpha male -- right here, right now.
She Pays For Dinner
You can't call yourself an alpha male if you chose to not pay for her dinner. Get a grip of yourself, you're taking her out on a date. Man up and get the bill.
You Never Say You're Sorry, Ever
Look, if you royally effed up by forgetting her anniversary, and you know you're wrong, don't just sit there and ignore it. Apologize to her pronto.
You Are A Complete Suck Up
If you're crawling around on your knees at the office, trying to get your boss to like you, you can't call yourself an alpha male. Real alpha males know how to speak their mind, speak up when appropriate and show some back bone.
You Talk Behind People's Backs
There's nothing worse than a man going behind someone's back and talks smack about someone else. It's a sign of weakness when a man gossips.
You Don't Know How To Deal With A Disaster
An alpha male should feel at home in a fast paced environment. He should be able to put out fires when a crisis hits in a calm, rational manner without getting up in arms about it.
You Only Think After You Act
Before an alpha male does anything at all, he thinks, thinks again, and then acts. He never acts on a whim.
You Never Ever Blame Yourself
Taking responsibility is what it means to be a man. He doesn't make excuses to get out of something; he has no issues with owning up to messing up.
You Don't Always Tell The Truth
A real alpha male doesn't hide anything from the truth. He does what has to be done, whatever the outcome.
You Go Behind People's Backs
A true alpha male never gives up his position. He would never even consider going behind someone's back or betraying someone in any other way. He treats others with respect.
You're A Douche To Others
Not only does an alpha male never bully people, he doesn't bully others, either. Strength doesn't come out of being derisive or acting holier than thou.
You Cheat
There's absolutely nothing alpha about cheating on another person. It doesn't matter if its your girlfriend, your fling or your one-night stand. It's disrespectful and unmanly.
You Give Up Easily
Giving up easily is one of the most obvious signs of not being an alpha male. An alpha male rises to the challenge, no matter what.
You're Weak
If you can't defend yourself or the people you love, you an stop calling yourself an alpha male right now. Man up, hit the gym if you need to.
You're Afraid
If you cower away in fear every time you are faced with a threat, you're not an alpha. It's as simple as that.
You're Alone
An alpha male is always surrounded by a pack. Or at least, when it is appropriate. You don't want a bunch of guys in the bedroom when you're with your woman.
You Take Yourself Too Seriously
A real alpha male can laugh at himself. He doesn't take himself too seriously.
You Don't Take Care Of Yourself
A real alpha male keeps himself groomed and fresh at all times. He respects his body and treats it like a temple.
You Slack Off
A real alpha male works hard, works persistently and earns his rewards. Laziness never pays off.
You're Not A Leader
If you're not capable of leading others, you can't call yourself an alpha male. An alpha male knows how to lead the pack, point people in the right direction and serve as an example.
You Have No Values
And most of all, the alpha male sticks to his values. He governs his life with what he thinks is right. And he sticks to those same values, whatever the cost.
Alpha Male

Vanguard Says Good Bye to MSCI, Fee Cuts for 22 Index Funds Ahead
Vanguard Group, the largest U.S. mutual fund provider, is abandoning MSCI indexes in favor of alternative benchmarks for 22 of its largest index mutual funds and ETF shares. The switch is expected to result in cost savings to Vanguard's shareholders via lower expense ratios because of lower index licensing fees.
"Our structure, along with our ongoing commitment to keep operating costs at the lowest reasonable levels, leads to low expenses that are enduring in nature," said Vanguard Chief Investment Officer Gus Sauter. "Vanguard is the mutual fund industry's only client-owned firm that manages its funds and ETFs at cost." (VIDEO: What the Dow Transports are saying about the Stock Market.)
Vanguard plans to transition six international stock index funds with aggregate assets of $170 billion to FTSE benchmarks. Included in this group is the Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund and its ETF share class (NYSEARCA:VWO). VWO will switch from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to the FTSE Emerging Index. Also, the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Investable Market Index (NYSEARCA:VXUS) will be replaced by the FTSE Global All Cap ex-US Index.
Sixteen U.S. stock and balanced index funds with aggregate assets of $367 billion will be tied to new benchmarks developed by the University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP). The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (NYSEARCA:VTI) will switch to the CRSP US Total market Index.
Fee reductions have been a boon to ETF investors and Vanguard's move is largely due to structural changes within the ETF industry as fund companies battle for assets by reducing management fees. Last month, Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) cut costs on its lineup of 15 ETFs to as low as 0.04%. In coming months, BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) is expected to reduce fees on its iShares ETFs. (Global Investment Theme Report inside the October 2012 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter.)
The asset allocations for the Vanguard funds changing indexes will not change. Also, the transition to the new benchmarks is not expected to result in capital gains distributions to the funds' shareholders, according to Vanguard analysis based on current market conditions.
Vanguard's decision to go with FTSE is a blow to MSCI (NYSE:MSCI), which generated around $24 million in annual revenue and operating income from Vanguard index funds. In 2003 Vanguard dumped higher cost indexes provided by McGraw-Hill Company's (NYSE:MHP) S&P unit in favor of MSCI benchmarks. Now, MSCI is the one being cut. The index transitions will be staggered and MSCI said the switch is expected to occur in phases starting in January 2013.
No changes are planned for Vanguard U.S. stock index funds linked to Russell and S&P benchmarks, or the 11 Vanguard sector equity funds currently seeking to track MSCI benchmarks.
The benchmarks for Vanguard's Target Retirement, LifeStrategy (Nasdaq:VASGX), and Managed Payout Funds and other funds of funds will also change.
"The indexes from FTSE and CRSP are well constructed, offer comprehensive coverage of their respective markets, and meet Vanguard's 'best practice' standards for market benchmarks," said Sauter.
Sauter noted that index licensing fees have represented a growing portion of the expenses that investors pay to own index funds but that the long-term agreements with FTSE and CRSP will provide cost certainty going forward with these two index providers.

thick, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies – smitten kitchen
This is a half recipe. It makes a couple dozen standard-size cookies. (I get more because I make them tinier.) I always feel like I'm swimming in cookies when I make the full volume, but if you're feeding a crowd, go ahead and double it.
New note, 2/2/13: We've gotten in the habit (terrible habit, heh) of making these lately, Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip-style. We use no nuts, 1/2 cup (80 grams) raisins and 3/4 cup (130 grams) chocolate chips for the mix-ins and highly encourage you to try it. When using chocolate, I drop the sugar down to a heaped 1/2 cup.
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces or 115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup (125 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1 1/2 cups (120 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup (120 grams) raisins (see Note)
- 1/2 cup walnuts (65 grams), chopped (optional)
At this point you can either chill the dough for a bit in the fridge and then scoop it, or scoop the cookies onto a sheet and then chill the whole tray before baking them. You could also bake them right away, if you're impatient, but I do find that they end up slighly less thick. Either way, heat oven to 350°F (175°C) before you scoop the cookies, so that it's fully heated when you're ready to put them in.
The cookies should be two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (your baking time will vary, depending on your oven and how cold the cookies were going in), taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.
cranberry pie with thick pecan crumble – smitten kitchen
Cranberries are, for me, one of the best things about late fall and they show up right in time, just as all of the other colors disappear. The ginkgo trees, always one of the last November holdouts, simultaneously ejected their green/yellow leaves last week and ever since, pretty much everything outside is looking rather… greige, but not like the charming shade of the boots I want. And then, out of nowhere, perfect red berries appear and things look up.
I love cranberries the way I do sour cherries in June, except cranberries are easier to come by (here, at least), keep longer, cost less, have less of a blink-and-you-missed-them season and freeze seemingly indefinitely perfectly. I think it would be chromatically impossible to find a more stunning shade of red than the one they collapse into when cooked. Yet taste-wise, I know they scare people because they're aggressively tart and sour — they could make your average Eureka lemon seem like a wimp.
But this can be the best part. My favorite foods embrace contrasts — savory against typically sweet, salt against decadent desserts, caramelized crunch atop a rich casserole — and cranberries, especially twisted with sweet, rich ingredients like this ice cream I need someone to make for me right now, really get to shine.
You rarely see straight-up cranberry pies. They're usually cut with chunks of apples or pears, seemingly afraid of their own intensity but I vowed this year to tackle my own at last. I found that the trick to making a palatable cranberry pie was to, yes, sweeten them more than I would other fruits, but also to provide a great contrast, here a thick cinnamon-scented, oat-and-pecan crumble on top, that's finished, like all things worth eating, with a shower of powdered sugar, a good dollop of sweetened vanilla whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top.

Cranberry Pie with Thick Pecan Crumble
Despite the contrast from the brown sugar, oat, cinnamon and toasted pecan crumble on top, the shower of powdered sugar, the sweetened vanilla whipped cream or ice cream that I know you wouldn't serve this without, this is still, at its core, a tart pie. It may not be for everyone, but it is definitely for us. Cranberries are excellent pie berries, it turns out, so high in pectin that you're at little risk for a sloshy pie or "soggy bottom" (crust!). Par-baking the crust is optional, but of course will keep the base the most crisp. I like to cook this filling for a few minutes on the stove; it will probably be okay without it (just needing 10 to 15 minutes more baking time) but it gives you a chance to get the berries a little loose and lightly crushed, while reducing the overall baking time, which is, delightfully, under an hour. Note: Your topping will look less messy and loose than mine. I was a little distracted while baking this, and added too many oats.
Yield: 1 standard 9-inch pie (not deep-dish)
1 1/4 cups (155 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons (6 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) fine sea or table salt
1 stick (4 ounces or 115 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1/4 cup (60 ml) very cold water, plus an additional tablespoon if needed
4 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (from 1 1/2 12-ounce bags)
1 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 to 2 more tablespoons, if desired, to taste
A few gratings of orange zest (yes, clementine zest works great here too)
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2/3 cup rolled oats or 1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light or dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon coarse or sea salt
3/4 cup pecans, toasted if you have the time
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
To serve
Powdered sugar, sweetened whipped cream with a splash of vanilla extract or vanilla ice cream
Make the pie dough:
- By hand, with my one-bowl method: In the bottom of a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Work the butter into the flour with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles a coarse meal and the largest bits of butter are the size of tiny peas. (Some people like to do this by freezing the stick of butter and coarsely grating it into the flour, but I haven't found the results as flaky.) Add 1/4 cup cold water and stir with a spoon or flexible silicone spatula until large clumps form. Use your hands to knead the dough together, right in the bottom of the bowl. If necessary to bring the dough together, you can add the last tablespoon of water.
- With a food processor: In the work bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt and sugar. Add butter and pulse machine until mixture resembles a coarse meal and the largest bits of butter are the size of tiny peas. Turn mixture out into mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup cold water and stir with a spoon or flexible silicone spatula until large clumps form. Use your hands to knead the dough together, right in the bottom of the bowl. If necessary to bring the dough together, you can add the last tablespoon of water.
- Both methods: Wrap dough in a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 48 hours, or you can quick-firm this in the freezer for 15 minutes. Longer than 2 days, it's best to freeze it until needed.
Form the crust: On a floured counter, roll the dough out into a 12 to 13-inch circle-ish shape. Fold dough gently in quarters without creasing and transfer to a 9-inch standard (not deep-dish) pie plate. Unfold dough and trim overhang to about 1/2-inch. Fold overhang under edge of pie crust and crimp decoratively. Return to fridge until ready to fill.
[Optional: If you'd like to par-bake the crust, once you've rolled it out, freeze it for 10 minutes inside your pie tin, until solid. Prick unbaked crust with a fork several times. Line it with lightly buttered foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or pennies. Bake at 400°F (205°C) on rimmed baking sheet 15 minutes. Remove paper or foil and weights, and bake 5 to 10 more minutes until crust is golden brown and lightly crisp.]
Heat oven: (Or reduce oven heat, if you just par-baked your crust) to 375°F (190°C).
Make the filling: Combine all filling ingredients — no need to defrost frozen cranberries, they'll just need a couple extra minutes to warm up — in a medium saucepan over medium heat. After about 5 minutes, berries will begin to leak juices. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes more until filling is loose. If desired, you can lightly crush the mixture once or twice with a potato masher, but try to leave most berries intact. Transfer filling to a bowl to let it cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes while you make the crumble topping.
Make the topping: If using whole oats, grind them to a powder in a food processor. Add pecans and coarsely grind them too. Add remaining ingredients except the butter, pulsing a few times to combine. Add butter, pulsing until crumbles form. Sprinkle topping over cranberry filling.
Bake pie: For 45 to 50 minutes, until juices are bubbling enough that they splash a bit onto the crumb topping. If pie browns too quickly, cover top with a piece of foil for remaining baking time. Transfer to a wire rack to cool a bit before serving showered with powdered sugar and alongside whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Northeastern University hopes to break ground next month on a $225 million science and engineering research building, joining a growing list of Boston-area colleges and universities making major investments in those fields.
Joseph E. Aoun, Northeastern's president, said the facility will help to meet a surging demand among students attracted to the majors and to accommodate a growing faculty.
Over the past seven years, the university has recruited 387 tenured and tenure-track faculty, and its annual research funding has more than doubled, he said. With plans to recruit another 300 faculty over the next five years, the school needs more research space.
"We look at problems and opportunities in our society and ask, 'How can we make an impact?'" Aoun said in an interview.
Most of the impending hires will work in the new science and engineering facility and will research the fields of health, security, and sustainability, which Aoun described as "national imperatives."
"Society needs to focus on these domains," he said.
The 220,000-square-foot facility would be built on a 3.5-acre parcel, currently a parking lot along Columbus Avenue next to the Ruggles MBTA Station in Roxbury.
The six-story building is scheduled to open in fall 2016 and will feature labs with cutting-edge scientific equipment, classrooms, offices for faculty and graduate students, a 280-seat auditorium, and a large atrium.
The building is the latest such research facility going up or being planned on campuses in the region:
■ Boston University plans to build two science and engineering buildings in the coming decade: a seven-story, 150,000-square-foot building and another that would be as tall as 11 stories and as large as 165,000 square feet.
■ MIT is designing a 200,000-square-foot nanomaterials lab and research facility for its science and engineering schools that the institute hopes to open by 2018.
■ Harvard University plans to resume construction soon on a massive science complex on its Allston campus. Although scaled back from original plans, the facility will measure between 500,000 and 600,000 square feet, and Harvard plans to move much of its engineering school there when the science complex opens in 2017.
■ The University of Massachusetts Boston plans to open a $182-million, 220,000-square-foot integrated sciences complex next fall.
■ UMass Amherst recently finished half of a $160 million, 175,000-square-foot life sciences complex. The other half is slated to open in early 2016.
■ Wentworth Institute of Technology and Wellesley College each have smaller-scale plans to construct science learning and research space.
Science and engineering are increasingly attractive fields of study. A report last month from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center said that the number of bachelor's degrees earned over the last five years in the fields grew by 19 percent, while bachelor's degrees in other fields grew by 9 percent.
"Students have been gravitating toward science and engineering because of the perception that these fields provide more job security than other fields," said Jason DeWitt, lead researcher for the report.
Boston officials say new facilities not only help the institutions building them, but also benefit neighboring communities.
Aoun said Northeastern's science and engineering building, one of several projects the university expects to build over the next decade as part of its master plan, will be "the first private research development in Roxbury."
University officials said the project will create 630 construction jobs, plus 700 permanent faculty and staff jobs when the building opens.
A community-benefits agreement tied to Northeastern's master plan calls for the school to meet certain thresholds for hiring area residents, minorities, and women and for buying goods and services from locally owned businesses.
Northeastern has also committed to giving more scholarships to youths from surrounding neighborhoods, build more on-campus student housing, construct a neighborhood center, rebuild a neighborhood playground, and give $2.5 million to start an economic development fund.
"What we see from Northeastern is a model for what we should see from every college and institution, but also our hospitals and medical centers," said Councilor Tito Jackson, who represents Roxbury and who worked with other elected officials and residents to hash out the agreement.
Northeastern faces one final regulatory hurdle for the project: the city's zoning board on Dec. 18. But no major opposition has surfaced.
Aoun said the boom in local campus construction is about working with, not competing against, nearby higher education institutions, hospitals, and research centers.
"We think of Boston as one large campus," he said. "It's an ecosystem that is mutually beneficial."

Photo Diary: Trying On Wedding Dresses!
Ahhh! It's 2013, you know what that means…it's officially the year Swoon and I tie the knot. Only 9 months to go. I cannot believe it.
We are knee deep in planning with my amazing wedding planner Tori Hendrix from Sitting In A Tree (she's the best!) and I've been working on designing my wedding dress with my favorite brand Watters. Before they started a single stitch, the whole team flew out to Los Angeles to host a Watters trunk show at the happiest place on earth, no not Disneyland, Lovely Bride.
I visited Lovely Bride (and met manger Merrill who is like the cool, hip fashionable sister you wish you had) and tried on all the dresses from the brand new Watters collection for inspiration for my final dress. I'm obsessed with their use of color- pale grey, baby pink. I am also in love with their use of lace, vintage darlings eat your heart out! They also had this AMAZING veil, full of glitter- I HAD to try it on….
The shoppe is a little, quaint white bridal-wonderland in Los Angeles (they have one in NYC too) that stocked unique dresses that you could never find in the mega-stores. Everything is tres chic + really perfect for a bride like me, who wants something amazing, but a little unique too.
I wanted to share some fun photos of me in wedding dresses, and see what you guys thought looked good!
Let me know what you think of the photos in the comment below!

Since 1992, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted accelerated approval to 47 new indications for 35 cancer drugs and in more than half the cases -- 26 indications -- further trials have confirmed the benefits of the drugs. But the agency has concerns about the length of time some drugs have remained on the market without confirmation of their benefits, according to a review article published online March 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
New requirements and fines are possible solutions say the authors, from FDA's Office of Oncology Drug Products.
John R. Johnson, M.D., and colleagues reviewed the FDA's experience with the accelerated approval process from its beginning in 1992 to July 2010. Among the 26 indications that eventually received regular approval, the median time between accelerated approval and regular approval was 3.9 years and the average time was 4.7 years. These represent "substantial time savings in terms of earlier availability of drugs to patients," the authors write.
However, three indications have been withdrawn from the market or placed under very restricted patient distribution because subsequent trials did not confirm a benefit. Two were on the market for 10 years before being withdrawn. Fourteen accelerated approvals still do not have completed confirmatory trials; one of these drugs has been on the market for 10.5 years, and three have been marketed for more than 5 years. And among the indications that have converted from accelerated approval to regular approval, five took longer than 7 years to complete confirmatory trials, with one taking 12.6 years and another 9.7 years.
"Because of the possibility that confirmatory trials will not confirm clinical benefit, indications that have received accelerated approval should not be on the market for unacceptably prolonged intervals in the absence of completed confirmatory trials," the authors write.
They suggest that one solution to this problem is for the FDA to require that a confirmatory trial be in progress before granting accelerated approval. Another is to make use of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 2007, which gave the FDA authority to fine companies up to $10 million for lack of due diligence in completing confirmatory trials. "The FDA believes that this will be an effective new tool," the authors conclude.
In an accompanying editorial, Susan S. Ellenberg, Ph.D., of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, notes that analyses such as this one are essential in improving the regulatory process. She discusses several questions that are not fully addressed by the current review, the most important of which is the extent to which accelerated approval actually speeds the availability of products.
Ellenberg argues that the time to complete a study that was aimed at regular approval from the start would likely be shorter than the time to do first a study for accelerated approval and then a second, confirmatory study. "Thus the time to availability of a new drug, although undoubtedly shorter with accelerated approval as an option, may not be as impressive as Johnson et al. suggest."
The editorialist adds that the FDA's new regulatory science initiative announced last fall "should support more in-depth analyses of regulatory data that could provide valuable insights regarding optimization of regulatory approaches."
